Nice and inexpected sequel for brilliant film Estômago. Off course it is far from the astounding level of the original film from 17 years before, but it also entertains. It is more International, being a co-production Brazil-Italy: not only the food from Brazil and Italy appears "for export" (by the way, that is NOT the proper way of makeing caipirinha!), but also there are scenes in Italy and Sician mafia is highlighted. Although the script is sometimes too predictable, both the conflicts inside the famiglia and the leaders inside prision provide good moments. The film is certainly funny, but it is also quite violent, what did not happen in 2007, where the most brutal crimes were presented in a dark-humoured and not gory way. Seeing fantastic actor João Miguel bringing back his "Alecrim" Raimundo Nonato "Canivete" is also a delight, despite the character have a less central role here. The movie presents, in some way, a parallel path for him and the Italian counterpart, Dom Caroglio, also a chef. Like Nonato's in the original movie, his path towards crime leadership is unusual and involves cooking skills. Besides acting, cinematography also deserves to be praised.
